To Die Game

<p>The dramatic and exciting story of Indian guerilla warfare against the Confederates during the Civil War. During the Civil War many young Lumbee Indians of North Carolina hid in the swamps to avoid conscription into Confederate labor battalions and carried on a running guerilla war. <em>To Die Game</em> is the story of Henry Berry Lowry a Lumbee who was arrested for killing a Confederate official. While awaiting trial he escaped and took to the swamps with a band of supporters. The Lowry band became as notorious as their contemporaries Jesse and Frank James as they terrorized bush-whacked leaders of possses and military companies. For more than five years with the support of local Indians and Negroes they eluded capture. In 1872 Henry disappeared and some of his other followers were eventually hunted down and killed by bounty hunters.</p>
